Tag Archives: Great Scout & Cathouse Thursday

More than anything else, I just love the sepia like tone of this image from the UPI Wire Service to help promote The Great Scout & Cathouse Thursday.
In doing research for Lee Marvin Point Blank I came across all kinds of oddities and here’s a personal favorite discovered in the archives of a local newspaper.

From the UPI Wire, July 4th 1976.

Since it’s kind of small and a bit blurry, here’s what it says: “SUGGESTED FOR USE WITH SCOTT’S WORLD FOR WEEKEND 7/3-4 ON LEE MARVIN
HOLLYWOOD: Lee Marvin mournfully admits he is one of the few really rotten-to-the-core actors left in the civilized world! The ex-combat marine whose hooded eyes, shambling gait and torn-pocket mouth bode instant trouble, has made 50 movies and in almost all of them he is terminally disreputable.”
I also find it interesting that the idea was to run this little tidbit syndicated on the 4th of July…of the Bicentennial year of 1976! I really don’t know if it actually did run anywhere or not, but if it did, it begs the obvious question: Is this the best thing that newspaper syndicates can come up with for trivia or factual information on the 200th anniversary of the country’s birth????? My guess is that it probably did run somewhere, which is kind of sad, in a way. Even a “Weekend Supplement” as suggested, can do better than that. Although, in fairness, Great Scoutdid take place during the presidential election of 1908 in which Taft defeated Bryan. Since that would make it….132 years from 1776. Okay, it’s a stretch but what the hell, it was worth a try. Besides, it is a cool picture, don’t you think?

MONTE WALSH: 1NEWSPAPER PALIMONY PIX: The newspaper I used to work for had a morgue file on the palimony suit with a bunch of pix of Lee and his wife Pam during the trial that the paper let me have for good. They are of varying sizes and include captions. I’d say about 3 dozen in all mostly in sepia tone (but not all) on velox paper as camera-ready images.FRAGMENTED IMAGES: From newspapers, mostly the 70s & 80s numbering about 2 dozen with captions.

Four studio 8×10 portraits of Lee Marvin from the 60s and 70s.

Extremely rare separated contact sheet of Lee Marvin with Gary Cooper on the set of Marvin’s first film, U.S.S. TEAKETTLE (aka YOU’RE IN THE NAVY NOW). Images can be blown up larger and framed, of course.

Two extremely rare onset photos from Lee Marvin’s first film, U.S.S. TEAKETTLE (aka YOU’RE IN THE NAVY NOW). Top photo, Marvin is on the far right with headphones around his neck. Bottom photo Marvin is running second from left. Also pictured is Millard Mitchell, Jack Warden and Harvey Lembeck.

Some but not all of the Velox images used by newspapers during the 1979 “palimony” suit that made headlines for months.

Two separate contact sheets of Michele Triola’s semi-nude modeling days before she met Lee Marvin. Probably the late 50s or early 60s. Images can be blown up larger and framed, of course.

A contact sheet of photos taken on the set of MONTE WALSH of Lee Marvin and Jeanne Moreau, as well as separate images of Ina Balin from THE COMANCHEROS on the same sheet. Images can blown up larger and framed, of course.

Smaller newspaper images from his various films kept on file for the celebrity columns in the 60s-80s. Each measure approx, 3×5, very much like a wallet size photo. Some have captions as shown above.
